“For these guys, house music is not really their thing. It can be a real challenge for them to work with the straight four-four beat,” DESTRUCTO says of working with Problem. “But when he got it, he really got it, and we made ‘Dare You 2 Move,’ which is a story about a trippy ride in the car.” Look for that ride to come to life in the next video created by award-winning director Agata Alexander in the near future.
The sound ofDESTRUCTO‘s forthcomingWEST COAST EP [Insomniac Records/Interscope], which will be officially released on November 24, 2014, brings together the after-hours energy of dance music with the streetwise wordplay of contemporary hip-hop hit-makers such as YG and Problem. The six-song collection also boasts a trio of genuine rap legends like Warren G and Kurupt on this genre-smashing EP that announces a bold new direction for the producer/DJ.
“I wanted to make music that no one else was really doing. I started really digging into new music on the internet and started hearing these tracks that were like house, but with heavy hip-hop samples from Biggie and Tupac mixed in,” DESTRUCTO explains of the genesis of his “G-House 2.0” sound which is when deep house and hip-hop collide. “Originally, I wasn’t even thinking of making tracks, but for tracks to play in cool DJ sets that blended the two sounds. The only problem was that I couldn’t find enough of those tracks to make a full set, so I just thought the next time I went into the studio, I’d try my hand at producing some of my own.”
